Best way to send document with exact fonts? Sesquipedalian Sam <sesquipod[ at ]nowhere.noway> 11/21/2008 11:14:25 PM Is there a way that I can send a Word document so that the recipient will see the exact fonts that I used even if they do not have those fonts installed on their computer?

Re: Best way to send document with exact fonts? "Terry Farrell" <terryfarrell[ at ]msn.com> 11/22/2008 10:18:25 AM Under Save Options, you can 'embed fonts', but it really bloats the document, because it now includes font sets for every font type you use. Obviously, this isn't a great idea for emailing! So as Ben suggests, PDF is probably the best option. If you use Word 2007, you can download the free PDF add-in for Office from the Microsoft Office support site. One other alternative is that you can create your document, SelectAll and then paste it into a free graphics utility such as IrfanView and save it as a jpeg. Then open a blank email and use Insert, Picture with the advantage that it cannot be edited by the recipient either. But again, the result is going to be BIG. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Sesquipedalian Sam" <sesquipod[ at ]nowhere.noway> wrote in message news:44gei45dmp8bdkvt6sic9tk343d3o8ff2b[ at ]4ax.com...

It works pretty well. Thanks for that pointer. I also tried embedding the fonts. It didn't bloat the document too much. Thanks for that as well.
